[QUOTE="Anthony kenny, post: 17154, member: 3084"] Hello Simon,, I feel the pain ,, I was flying my spark Thursday gone ,, I calibrated the spark and set RTH at my place of work before taking off as ive done several times before. It's a large yard with plenty of space, it took off fine and suddenly went to atti mode, I'm kinda new to drones but after flying a phantom 3 standard I thought I'd be able to land the thing, as I brought it down to land (not easy) atti mode went off my screen and it lost signal, , it shot up and had a mind of its own. It left the yard area and shot at high speed across roofs of nearby houses, disconnected was on screen of my mobile, I kept pressing RTH on the remote. I ran of in the direction it went thinking it was going to crash into building, trees or worse case hit somebody. No sign of spark 15 minutes later, I searched the area and went back to the yard to get help from work mate's to look around, As I entered the yard the spark was on the ground 6 metres from it took off, Lots of scuff marks on the body and the props where slightly damaged. It somehow returned to the yard from a different direction and landed while I was out looking for it. It hovered for several minutes until battery died. It did hit a wall also which left the minor damage. I had record pressed so looked at video later. I'm afraid to fly it now in case it fly away ? That's my story guys, back to p3s [/QUOTE]
